Compared to what we see from the leftists, I'm sure they were well behaved.

Well, in the good old days, it would’ve been a We the People “Tar” Party. Don’t know if we can get a permit for tarring a couple hundred congressmen, at least 60 senators and one potus. We’d also have to get a permit for a large tar pit on the mall.

I hope that all of these tea parties have galvanized folks on our side to build on the initial success of these events.

I’d love to see these events repeated at least every other week, until the weight and momentum is great enough to bend the traitors in Washington to the will of The People.

The two jedis and I were proud to be a part of the Tulsa Tea Party!

It was a beautiful but brutally cold day, the wind chill was in the teens, I heard. By the time we got back to the car, we were completely numb with the cold. But it was worth it and I was so glad to see such a good turn-out.

Thanks for the ping, Abb...

I think we need to do a Million Man Media March...begin manipulating the MSM by protesting the left slant in coverage. Pick one first, say NBC...coordinate march on NBC headquarters and notify other MSM that we will be there protesting NBC's left slant - of course protests will also include Tea Party purposes, as well.

At the same time, hit as many local affiliates as possible in major metro areas.

Competitors will come for coverage against their competitors quickly, and after that we hit the next dinosaur and do the same thing.

Manipulating the media in our direction is a strong tool.
